Ok, here I go...

My name is Liz, and I'm a 5th-year senior at Delta Iota Chapter, Baldwin-Wallace College, right outside of Cleveland, OH. I'm a music management major (vocal music major, business minor), and I don't plan on using my major when I get out in May. Speaking of graduation... I CAN'T WAIT!!! -- even though I have no idea what I'm going to do afterwards. The only thing I do know is that, at least for a while, I'll probably be back in crummy ol' Baltimore, MD living with my mom (also a Phi Mu) until she drives me crazy.

Outside of Phi Mu, my interests include country music (yeah Kenny Chesney!!!), Care Bears (people say I'm nuts for being so attached to them... ohwell), computer imaging (not 3-D or anything spiffy like that, though), Audrey Hepburn, and classic movies. Big-time partying isn't my thing. Running around like an a-hole screaming how drunk I am (or will be) has just never made sense to me (of course, there is that one time I slept in my closet... but we'll save that for later). Plus, my tolerance is too high now (thanks to that closet incident) that it's almost impossible for me to get drunk -- so I don't even try. I'll just sit down and drink a glass of wine or a bottle of beer while I'm working (yes, even doing homework, I'll admit), and just stay in and chill with my friends on a Friday or Saturday night.

I joined Phi Mu in the fall of 1999, and was initiated on November 18. Sufficient to say, I'm the last remaining member of my Phi Class -- and the two after me. I've never served on DI's Executive Council, but I would have loved to. My grades have never been... well... acceptable, really, so that's why I could really run for any position. Had they been alright, I would love to have run for President and/or Phi Director. The two positions I have had were Website Director for 2 years and Ritual Chairman for 4 years. Yes, 4 years. Nobody ever wanted to take the position over, but I don't know why! I loved the position more than anything. I actually trained the incoming officer last Wednesday, and I almost cried when I gave her the key to our Ritual closet.

This summer I will (hopefully) be attending Convention, but most likely not for the entire time. I would love to, but the fact is, I can't afford it. I'll be there for Sunday, though, when they have Initiation, the Memorial Service, Sisterhood Luncheon, and Carnation Banquet. If I'm not there on Saturday, too, that means that I can go to the Kenny Chesney concert in Maryland -- woo hoo!!! Two of my favorite things back-to-back!!!
